Let’s dive in, or actually, no—let’s wade through these games.
Echoes of the Plum Grove
Discount? 20% off, just saying.
Alright, so—farming sims, right? They’re having a moment, and "Echoes of the Plum Grove" is all up in that mix. You start, like, stranded on an island. Classic. Got this tiny patch of land, and somehow, you’re supposed to make magic happen over generations. Family drama, alliances, maybe some witchy dealings? Completely bonkers, or so I hear. The art is hand-drawn, giving it that cozy vibe that just pulls you in. Plus, there are mysteries, because why not?
Dark Deity
A massive 75% off!
Into strategy RPGs? Well then, "Dark Deity" could be your next obsession. Build your army, guide them through combat, watch them grow—or I guess suffer if you mess up. Whoops. Apparently, losing characters isn’t just game over; they’ll keep trucking along but with some stat hits. Nice twist, if frustrating. We’re talking 28 chapters and dozens of hours of gameplay. Plus, extra DLC content for those who just can’t get enough.
Coromon
This one’s half off. Sweet deal.
Ah, "Coromon." It’s like Pokémon but feels fresh. Over 100 monsters to catch, and they come with elements, traits, skills—the whole shebang. It’s all about the strategy with stamina points dictating your moves. And get this, traits pop up under specific conditions and can totally surprise you by affecting your team dynamics. Six biomes full of plot twists and reveals. Adventure time!
Cat Cafe Manager
Take 40% off!
The name says it all. It’s a cafe. With cats. You inherit this run-down place, and now it’s your mission to make it fab. Besides cats, you’ve got humans to deal with—villagers dropping by, new recipes to discover, and maybe a mystery here and there. It’s got that heartwarming thing going for it, with a dash of renovation drama. Can I say drama for interior decorating? Well, I just did.
